Biolubricants
TOTAL is highly sensitive to environment protection and sustainable development and has therefore developed
a range of biolubricants designed in priority for activities where there is a direct risk for the environment
if there is a leak or accidental loss of the product.

Biolubricant ? sectors of application
Biolubricants must be used in priority for all
The term biolubricants applies to all applications where there is an environmental
Functions of biolubricants:

• Lowering machine operating temperatures
• Increasing sealing lubricants subject to possible accidental leaks
A biolubricant can be:
